I’m Ms. Novak–our kindergarten scholars’ teacher this year!  I am a K-12 product of Pine-Richland School District, having attended Wexford Elementary, PRMS, and the high school.  I studied early childhood and elementary education in college and am working on my Masters in Reading at Slippery Rock University.  This is my sixth year teaching in PR, but I taught pre-school, kindergarten, and first grade for ten years before coming home.

I enjoy traveling–especially to Disney World and to visit family in Denmark, and I also like to run and walk around my neighborhood.  I have participated in at least ten half marathons, but I think my favorite races were the Pittsburgh EQT 10 Miler and the Summit Challenge on historic Route 40 in Fayette County, PA.  My husband, Mr. B, and I have been married for fourteen years and we have a two year old baby man, Reese.
